Lagoon Nebula

Posted By Jason Irby
Here is the Lagoon nebula I captured from a combination of images taken Fri and Sat night.

Still don't have autoguiding so I have to keep subs short.

Modified Canon XTi, TV 102mm
160 x 1 min exposures @ ISO1600
Stacked and processed in ImagesPlus

Small 790x600(656k):

Jupiter from Murrumbateman, July 22

Posted By Jason Irby
Simply beautiful!

I see people saying all channels have to be captured in 90 seconds max. Some say 120 seconds. This is 180 seconds? I can't percieve any rotation blurring. Maybe my eye isn't sufficiently trained.

Great work Anthony!

Hi Res & High Sun Clavius 08-03-07

Oustanding Wes.

If you don't mind me asking, How many raw frames was your set from which you selected the 472?

Also, your focus is always so sharp. Do you focus directly on the lunar surface or do you use a star and then slew back to the Moon?

You guys here sure set a high bar. ;o)

Moretus-Curtius and south pole area

Posted By Jason Irby
Stunning Wes!

Comparing our two images of Moretus, its instructive to see what an extra 6 inches of aperture can do in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.

Keep'em coming!

Tycho in High-Res

Wow. I mean.....Wow.

I've been enjoying your images on the internet for years. Its amazing that you can keep topping yourself. I was literally shocked after opening that image.

Nicely done.

First imaging

Posted By Jason Irby
Thats great. Better than my first ever attempts.

Just for fun, if you still have the avi's it might be worth playing around in Registax by using resampling or drizzle on the Optimize tab. You might can imcrease your effective image scale without having to use a barlow and reduce your field of view that you need for drifting. That might work, depending on how bright the avi is.

Jupiter July 2 in decent seeing.

Posted By Jason Irby
Nice detail. I have no idea how you focus at f38. I have fits trying to focus at f10!

About how many seconds of capture is that? 120?

Clear Skies,
